Poem is a tribute to 1992Patricia. More about Patricia down below. All bold print are titles of Patricia's poems.

Welcome to Paradise

Welcome to RealityNo more Putting up a FrontThe Darkness Within can beLike Halloween and witch huntThe Haunted House that you findYou’ll see it has No WindowHere's Something to Keep in MindGirl all Alone has no soul

Since Cold will be the WeatherFlying Eagle in the SkyWill be grounded ForeverSound of Music will just dieSomething Random will appearAs you fall into The TrapEverything your heart does fearWill make the Tree of Life snap

The Twisting Path will not bendYou’ll walk right into The CageSadness will be your best friendThe Lighting will disengageOn The Other Side of LoveLike The Nature of a ColdNo God Bless You from aboveVividThoughts will then unfold

The Reflection that you seeWill reveal The Blade of PainEarth itself will cease to be You Poor Thing you’ve gone insaneBeing a Kid you feel lostWith no Happy FamilyYour Papa and Momma costYou an Opportunity’

Though you are FlabbergastedWhat I See in the good BookThe Gifts of God have masteredTaking back what Satan tookThe Mean Person went awayHe’s Not Really Angry tonightSo forget YesterdayStar and Moon will now Shine Bright

Time to be SpontaneousClimb aboard the Heart of WingsEndless Pain to happinessKnow I Love You with no stringsTake with you My Teddy BearKeylock to My Broken HeartWith Sis Patty say a prayerNever Forget your new start

In this land So Far AwayThere is no Noise or thunderEvery day is Christmas daySo just Enjoy the WondersWith My Little Birdie flyWith the Dreamer don't think twice When The Boy with the Blue EyesSays, “Welcome to Paradise.”

1992Patricia has been a member since 6/5/11. During this time she has shown us she is a very talented young poet and writer. Since being a memmer she has shared 137 poems with us and amassaed nearly 700 total posts. Although these tribute poems are often hard to write and time consuming, I have to admit that I really enjoyed writing this one. Patricia, on behalf of all members I would like to thank you for all your contributions and for being an asset to our forum. God bless, Ronnie

Ronnie, what a great poem and picture tribute for Patricia! I think this was done around the time I joined and I missed it. She's certainly one of my favourite poets on the forum - she has an imagination like no other!

Evangeline, thank you very much. Funny thing, I felt guilt ridden for a couple of months thinking I had never written a tribute poem for Patricia and then this resurfaced after I had written a newer one. Patricia deserves them both though. Thanks for commenting.
